Hundred Suns have released a video for their new track Amaranthine.

It’s been lifted from the band’s upcoming debut album The Prestaliis which is set to arrive on August 11 via New Damage Records.

Frontman Cory Brandan, also of Norma Jean, tells Alt Press: “Amaranthine is one of our favourite songs. It switches between two different time signatures and we experimented with a lot of dynamics.

“Chris and Legs have a very balanced writing and rhythmic chemistry on this track which gave me a lot of room to be vocally versatile.

“I feel like the song has a very shadowy, almost ‘street’ vibe to it, matching its dark lyrical content, which was inspired by human trafficking – a very serious problem that deserves way more attention than it gets.”

Brandan reports that a portion of profits from sales of the new single will go towards THORN – an organisation that focuses primarily on preventing the sexual exploitation of children

Brandan adds: “I had a conversation with a border agent, who told me that they intervene to help young girls and boys almost every day. According to the US State Department, 600,000 to 800,000 people are trafficked across international borders every year, which is an insane stat.

“THORN were founded in part by Ashton Kutcher and I’ve seen him talk about this subject and found it to be very inspiring. Those that want to join us in supporting this important cause can do so by downloading Amaranthine on iTunes.”
